Description
Here, love sounds not like a loud promise, but like a quiet request to prolong the moment. It's like summer, which refuses to let go: you want to hold on to the warmth until it dissolves into autumn. The song contains many simple words - ‘stay’, ‘don't disappear’, ‘let it last’ - and it is these words that turn out to be the most important, because no embellishments can replace their directness.
There is a feeling of fragility, as if feelings were made of glass: one sharp movement is enough to shatter everything. But there is strength in this transparency: even if time stubbornly pulls the hands forward, there remains a desire to hold your breath and preserve the taste of today. It is a declaration of love for the moment - with the fear of losing it and the joy that it ever existed.
Lyrics and translation
Original
貴方の声で解れてゆく
忘れたくないと心が云う
思い出ばっか増えてゆく
ずっと側に居たい
泣き虫でもいいかな
強がらないでいいよ
限りある恋だとしても
出逢えて幸せです
いつまでも
いつまでも
続いて欲しいと願っている
手を取ることは出来ずとも
私は貴方を好いている
貴方の夢で心安らぐ
目覚めたくないと僕は云う
思い出ばっか増えてゆく
明日も側に居たい
どこまでも
どこまでも
鈍感な僕を叱って欲しい
当たり前が壊れることに
気づけないくらいに子供だけど
ちゃんと僕は貴方を好いている
私の (僕の) 時間が止まればいいのに
ほらまた期待をしてしまう
グッと堪えてみるからさ
もし溢れ出したら
瞳をちゃんと見てよ 見てよ 見て
貴方の影だけ伸びてゆく
消えてしまわないで ずっと
ずっと この思いは変わらない
いつまでも
いつまでも
続いて欲しいと願っている
手を取ることは出来ずとも
過ぎていく現在に抱きしめられている
私の (僕の)
時間が止まればいいのに
今日を噛み締めていよう
終わるな
夏よ、終わるな
English translation
I'm starting to understand with your voice
My heart says I don't want to forget
Memories just keep increasing
I want to stay by your side forever
Is it okay to be a crybaby?
Don't be pushy
Even if it's a limited love
I'm happy to have met you
forever
forever
I hope it continues
Even if I can't take your hand
i like you
I feel at ease with your dreams
I say I don't want to wake up
Memories just keep increasing
I want to be by your side tomorrow too
all the way
all the way
I want you to scold me for being insensitive
The common sense will be destroyed
I'm too young to even realize it
I really like you
I wish my (my) time could stop
Look, I'm starting to look forward to it again.
I'll try to bear it to the fullest
If it overflows
Look into my eyes, look, look
Only your shadow grows
Don't disappear forever
This feeling will never change
forever
forever
I hope it continues
Even if I can't take your hand
I’m embraced by the passing present
my (my)
I wish time would stop
Let's savor today
It won't end
Summer, it's never ending
